Turn off lights without deleting them?

I want to create a scene with lights in it. But I want to keep the lights loaded but not have them on in the active viewport.

But when I hide them the scene turns completely dark.

An example is UberEnvironment2 1 makes the lighting darker. But It's harder to see when I pose stuff so I want to turn it off without deleting it. But hiding it just makes the whole scene black.

 

How can I show the default lights without deleting any added lights?

Ctrl/cmd + L to toggle preview lights

Window menu Preview Lights on  (Ctrl-L)

Turn off the previewing of lights - Window>Preview Lights, short cut ctrl(Win)/cmd(Mac) L - and the scene will be lit by a headlamp type of light but will render with the actual lights, not the headlamp.
